ipdb.notes
IPDB Game was available with a check separator at additional cost. An updated version was available later as Model 45 Bally's 1935 'Jumbo' in a combination ticket dispenser and payout, and included a drawer for batteries, making them easier to change. In October 1935, Bally President Ray Moloney stated this game was Bally�s greatest seller and greatest money maker they�d ever built. According to the January 1953 issue of Bally-Who, a monthly newsletter from Bally, this game "was the original jumbo-size pingame, started trend to bigger games, faster play." One game pictured here has its name in the upper playfield overlaid with a decal showing 'Carioca Special'. We don't know whether the manufacturer, distributor, or operator did this. This particular machine had been converted from battery power to line power at some time along the way. used
